//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// NOTE: This Moodle text filter converts algebraic expressions delimited
// by either @@...@@ or by <algebra...>...</algebra> tags
// first converts it to TeX using WeBWorK algebra parser Perl library
// AlgParser.pm, part of the WeBWorK distribution obtained from
// http://webhost.math.rochester.edu/downloadwebwork/
// then converts the TeX to gif images using
// mimetex.cgi obtained from http://www.forkosh.com/mimetex.html authored by
// John Forkosh john@forkosh.com. The mimetex.cgi ELF binary compiled for Linux i386
// as well as AlgParser.pm are included with this distribution.
// Note that there may be patent restrictions on the production of gif images
// in Canada and some parts of Western Europe and Japan until July 2004.
//-------------------------------------------------------------------------
// You will then need to edit your moodle/config.php to invoke mathml_filter.php
